LONDON (Reuters) - A British constable hurled himself off a cliff after a
suicidal man, catching him in mid-air and saving his life, a police
spokesman said on Friday.
A Sussex police spokesman said Constable Trevor Perks, who was strapped to a
safety harness, managed to catch the man by the scruff of his neck as they
both tumbled down the cliff side.

Saved by Mid-Air Grab
Spring sent me this
one, as Trevor Perks is on a mailing list she's on. She was wondering why
people were congratulating him and offering to make an action hero out of
him.
Spring also said he volunteered last month to be pepper sprayed in order to
test a new formula.
I guess some people just aren't satisified with sipping coffee and
watching Survivor.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
